"I'll take it that you agree."
Xu Qing waited for a moment. Seeing that she didn't move and didn't show any signs of leaving, he looked at the sword on the ground.
"You can't draw your sword so easily in the future. For the people in this world, it's a very scary thing. Now if you have any questions, you can ask and I'll answer them for you."
Jiang He tilted her head slightly and thought carefully. Her lips moved but she didn't say anything.
There were too many questions and she didn't know where to start.
She didn't know anything about this place. She wanted to ask everything but didn't know how to ask.
"Where's your wife?"
"Huh?"
Xu Qing was confused.
Was it a woman's nature to gossip?
"I'm here …" Jiang He looked around, clenched her fists and then relaxed.
"I'm a purebred single dog who has lived for more than 20 years. I'm not married yet."
"… Not married yet?" Although she didn't understand what a dog was, she heard it clearly.
"Yes." Xu Qing nodded.
"…"
The room fell into silence.
"Do you think it's normal for a man and a woman to be alone in a room in this world? Besides, I'm not asking you to sleep with me. You can make do with the storeroom after it's cleaned."
Xu Qing couldn't help but explain. He stood up and signaled her to follow him to the door of the storeroom. There was a spring bed inside. She just needed to clean it and carry the bedding.
Jiang He was only as tall as his shoulder. She stood by the door and looked up at him with a strange expression.
She just greeted someone and the meal was ready. A rich landlord at this age was still unmarried.
Was it also the custom of this place?
Xu Qing didn't know what she was thinking. He tidied up the bedding and took a towel to wipe the bed. He went back to the room and carried a winter bedding over. There was only one set in his room for summer and one set for winter. There was no extra, so he had to make do with it.
"It's all washed and very clean. You can use it first. We'll talk tomorrow."
He tidied up everything and stood at the door to teach Jiang He to lock the door again. He paused and continued, "Rest early.
"Rest early. I know your mind is in a mess right now, and so am I. Um … good night."
"… I hope that when we wake up tomorrow, we'll realize that this is just a dream. By the way, my name is Xu Qing."
With that, Xu Qing smiled at her, turned off the lights in the living room, and went back to his room.
Jiang He stood quietly at the door and watched the door close. He turned his head and looked around the living room. He picked up his long sword and held it tightly as he returned to his room. He sat on the bed, thinking about something.
…
Late at night.
The dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the moon appeared. After being washed by the rain, it looked even brighter. The bright moonlight shone into the room through the window and fell on Xu Qing's face.
Xu Qing couldn't sleep.
He opened his eyes and looked at the bright moon outside the window. In a trance, he felt a little unreal.
During the day, he went out for a job interview and ran back in the rain without an umbrella. It was a normal and unlucky day.
In the end, he picked up a girl who liked drawing swords and claimed to be from ancient times …
In the distance, he could faintly hear the sound of a dog barking.
Xu Qing moved his head and pulled out his numb arm from the back of his head. He listened carefully for a moment, but he didn't hear anything else. He closed his eyes and forced himself to sleep.
Who cares what kind of mess it is …
He would think about it tomorrow.
…
The sky was already bright.
Xu Qing, who didn't know when he fell asleep, opened his eyes again. It was already past ten o 'clock in the morning.
It was another day of being an otaku.
He turned over on the bed and stretched lazily. He took his phone and casually looked at it. When he heard a soft sound outside, he suddenly stopped what he was doing.
Heroine?
Xu Qing jumped up from the bed and sneaked behind the door. He carefully opened the door a little and peeked inside. Jiang He was sitting on the sofa, wearing the T-shirt he gave her yesterday. He was wiping his sword with a piece of yellow silk cloth.
"Xu … Qing?"
Jiang He had already noticed the movement at the door and glanced at him.
"Well, that … ah ha, it's not a dream, you … cough."
Xu Qing's heart was beating faster. He tidied up his clothes and walked out. Before he could finish his sentence, he went to the table and poured himself a big glass of water. He gulped it down in one gulp and then let out a long sigh.
He was also shaken for a moment, suspecting that he had been fooled. But when he saw the television with a hole in it, he dispelled his doubts.
Not to mention the martial arts … trespassing and destroying people's belongings were all illegal. No one would be so stupid as to film a show that they didn't even know how to shake.
The ancient people from 1,200 years ago were right in front of him.
"Well … you're up quite early."
"It's almost noon." Jiang He sheathed his sword and put it aside. He looked at Xu Qing as if he wanted to say something.
This guy only got up when it was almost noon, which gave her a … feeling that she couldn't describe.
Somehow, she felt a little calmer in her heart.
"Well …"
Xu Qing scratched his head. "Are you hungry?"
"A little."
Jiang He searched his body and found that he was wearing the T-shirt and jeans that Xu Qing gave him yesterday. He got up and went to the room to take out two pieces of silver and put them on the table. He looked at Xu Qing, who was in a daze, and said hesitantly, "Although you don't seem to be in need of silver, but …"
"Do you have gold?" Xu Qing asked curiously.
Silver was not valuable, but gold was valuable at any time … He still didn't know how to get his ID card. It seemed that he had to use his connections. He was not rich.
Jiang He was stunned. After thinking for a moment, he went back to the room and took out a crescent-shaped jade. "This … should be able to pawn some silver."
"Forget it, I was just asking. You can't eat it … and take back the silver."
Xu Qing waved his hand and looked at her loose clothes. He thought for a moment and didn't order takeout. "You stay at home for a while. I'll go out to buy some daily necessities and clothes for you. I'll also bring back some food — remember, don't go out. It's very dangerous outside."
Although his clothes were a little more normal than the coarse linen clothes and straw sandals, it would still be very strange if he were to go out. Once he changed into a set of modern clothes and untied his hair, it should not be a problem for him to stroll around the area …
It was a good thing that the police station was across the street. There were few street checks in such a close distance. As long as she didn't cause trouble outside, she would not be exposed.
While thinking, Xu Qing changed his clothes and went out. For the time being, he put all his attention on how to hide her identity.
— He had to be careful. She was a living ancient swordsman, and any accident could lead to irreversible consequences.
"This … is about this tall. What size should I wear?"
Walking into a women's clothing store, Xu Qing randomly picked a few fashionable clothes for young girls. They were simple and neat. After asking for a moment, he put on three sets of clothes. When he was about to go out, he thought for a while and added a long dress.
Clothes, pants, shoes, socks, and …
Looking at the lingerie store in the distance, Xu Qing felt a headache. She hesitated for a moment. It was the first time in her life that she walked into such a place.
She didn't bring her own change of clothes. She couldn't go out in a vacuum …
"What size?"
Faced with the shopkeeper's inquiry, Xu Qing felt a headache. She stretched out her hand and gestured, but she didn't know how to buy it.
